okay Google, how about this. I already pay for premium, but Im too lazy to disable my adblocker for just your site, can we just call it a draw and move on?

I'm certainly not paying for youtube premium (and making a google account in the process). I'll probably just stop watching youtube if uBO can't get around it.

While I am quite worried with the change. Honestly, if there's a will there's a way, especially for a site as big as youtube with a huge target on their back.

People would find a way to get around the whole ad-block thing, especially with 3rd party site scraping client like Newpipe (or its equivalent on pc) or Invidious (sure, they got a bit of dmca going on, but there will probably be another individual willing to retake the mantle similar to revanced when vanced were shut down).
